San Marcos, Texas–based Noveon Magnetics Inc (opens in a new tab). has achieved ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D certification for the production, magnetization, and coating of magnetic materials, products, and assemblies. The certifications were issued by Perry Johnson Registrars, Inc. (opens in a new tab), a recognized auditing body, and mark a decisive step in Noveon’s evolution from a promising magnet producer into a globally credible supplier.

Why Certifications Matter

ISO 9001 establishes global standards for quality management, while AS9100D expands those principles for the aerospace and defense sectors. Together, these certifications unlock the ability for Noveon to serve aerospace primes, defense contractors, and advanced technology firms—customers that demand rigorous traceability and repeatability.

For investors, this move signals that Noveon is not just competing in commoditized magnet production. It is positioning itself in high-value defense and aerospace markets, where margins and demand security often run deeper than consumer electronics.

Building a Domestic Magnet Backbone

What makes this announcement notable in the broader rare earth supply chain is the timing. The U.S. is still overwhelmingly dependent on China for rare earth magnet production, a vulnerability spotlighted by export controls and geopolitical friction. But less discussed is the intricate complexity and bespoke nature of these magnets, based on customer demand.

The company suggests that by earning internationally recognized certifications, Noveon strengthens its credibility as a domestic anchor in the mine-to-magnet mission—a role that Washington policymakers have been actively funding and promoting.

Challenges Still Ahead

Certifications do not erase structural challenges. Noveon must scale production, secure a reliable feedstock of rare earth oxides, and compete against entrenched Chinese producers with decades of scale advantage.  True, the firm and other ex-China players have the Department of Defense's imminent anti-China rule tailwinds to help them. But make no mistake, building a profitable and sustainable U.S. magnet supply chain will require not only quality but capital intensity, technology upgrades, and steady customer commitments.

Quality as a Competitive Edge

Noveon’s certification milestone is more than a stamp on the wall—it’s a passport into the most demanding corners of the magnet market. For a nation seeking to de-risk its supply chain and for investors eyeing growth opportunities, the signal is clear: Noveon is playing for the long game in America’s rare earth revival.

The Company

Noveon Magnetics is a San Marcos, Texas-based company that manufactures high-performance NdFeB (neodymium-iron-boron) permanent magnets using its patented, sustainable Magnet-to-Magnet™ recycling process and virgin rare earth elements. The company's EcoFlux™ magnets (opens in a new tab) are used in critical applications like electric vehicles, wind turbines, and defense systems. Noveon is the only US rare earth magnet manufacturer to use this recycling technology, which is more energy-efficient and results in stronger magnets, reducing supply chain risk and supporting US industrial independence.

The company is positioned well on the Rare Earth Exchanges Rare Earth Magnet Manufacturer Rankings.
